α-Oxohydrazones as imine component in the synthesis of 4-functionalized azetidinones by the Staudinger reaction
摘要:
1-(Methyl-p-tolyl-amino)-3-phenoxy-2-azetidinones 4-COX and 4-R substituted (COX: X=Me, Et, Ph, NMe2, NEt2, OBu'; R=Me, Et, Ph) were smoothly prepared from the corresponding alpha-(methyl-p-tolyl)hydrazonylated ketones, amides and esters via [2+2] cycloaddition with phenoxyketene. The reaction was generally high-yielding and diastereoselective, leading to beta-lactams with a cis relationship between the PhO and the COX moieties, except for R=Ph, where an opposite stereoselectivity was instead observed. The azetidinones represent interesting intermediates which couple protection at N(1) and functionalization at position 4 of the ring. Deprotection of N(1) can be easily attained by oxidative N-N cleavage with magnesium monoperoxyphthalate. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
An easy access to 2-oxohydrazones via electrophilic α-p-tolylhydrazonylation of ketone enolates with tert-butyl p-tolylazo sulfide
摘要:
The title reaction conveniently furnishes, as the sole or main products, alpha-(p-tolylhydrazono)ketones or their N-methylderivatives (H+ or Mel quenching of the final mixture, respectively). Although the method fails with ketones having a secondary alkyl group bonded to the carbonyl, yields are otherwise more than satisfactory and particular interest is attached to the hydrazonylation of the methyl group in methyl ketones.
